fuck. what more to say? very tragic. he was doing it right, keeping it off the roads and playing at the track. truly awful.
my thoughts are with the family and friends, those present, and the emergncy staff who did all they could.

a sobering reminder that we can take all the precautions possible, but one small thing can still really fuck your day up.
keep the rubber side down guys.

Deepest sympathies to friends and family and all who were there at the time.
I have done track days at Hampton Downs and think it is a great track but I also have concerns with that main straight - the kink, the bump and the wall very close to the side. Was talking to Robbie Bugden at one of them and he reckoned that it would be pretty "knarly in the wet"...

RIP Very shocking to hear, and me going to be at the track tomorrow

After having done the track day at Manfield last weekend - it could very well have happened to any one of us.

RIP, and my thoughts and condolences to his family. Least he was doing something he loved............

My thoughts too to all riders today

When they are racing it was the area that they normally put the Air fence. But they dont use it for track days

So very sorry to hear of this tragic event. Condolences to the family and friends of the rider, and my thoughts also go out to the riders who were present.

Words really aren't adequate at times like this
